Ok I’ve read this whole thread and I’m still debating, all I’ll be doing with this thing is traversing a canal and possibly other small calm bayous but not hunting from the boat itself. Just transporting me from point a to b. With that said I only have a backpack and my bow when hunting and like someone else’s said I dnt mind dragging a deer out float style bc it wont be being done every hunt. My biggest concern is not getting wet getting in or out and overall stability. With that said I grew up on pirogues, unstable little buggers but you can float on wet grass, and I’m not a fan of canoes, they pre flip city for me and I mentioned before I dnt need more than 400lbs carrying capacity. The prices for sit ins and sit ones is about the same, and I do like the potential of carrying a deer with me, let’s be real here guys in South La I’ve never shot a deer that was more than 120# gutted. But my debate continues between kayak sit in or sit on, I’ll be makeshifting outriggers regardless. Thoughts?
